STELLA LE VERE, an ambitious, but struggling actress, is abandoned by her husband and is
forced to leave her baby girl, Grace, in care of an orphan asylum. Later, the child is adopted by
a well-to-do and kindly family named Thornton, who bring Grace up in ignorance of her identity.
Grace develops into a beautiful young woman, and, as she grows older, forms a strong attachment for
the stage. Her ambition to become a great actress is discouraged by her foster mother, who has the girl's
best interests at heart. Accidently Grace learns of her own identity, resolves to run away, go upon the
aj stage, and make an attempt to find her real mother. She does so, and after many trying experiences,
finds herself an understudy to her mother, who is the star in a musical comedy success. She keeps her
identity secret until the night she secures a chance to prove her ability by temporarily taking her
mother's place. She wins a wonderful ovation and incurs the jealous dislike of the star, her mother. At this time she discloses her identity but
this news seems to make her mother even more furious. Now, with her
eyes fully opened, she returns to her foster parents — her brief stage
career brought to a disillusioned end.
